Welcome to Southern Golden Retriever Rescue

We are a Charity dedicated to helping Golden Retrievers who for whatever reason, need to find a new home.


Adrian Chapman's funeral will be on Tuesday 23rd June at 12 o’clock at:

Thamesview Crematorium, Gravesend followed by a reception at
South Street Baptist Church, Wrotham Road, Meopham, DA13 0QJ.
Family flowers only.

There is a tribute page which can be found at:

https://adrian-chapman.muchloved.com

All are welcome to join us for the funeral service and reception, but it would be helpful if people could let josticklee@gmail.com know if they are staying on for the reception, for catering purposes.

If anyone would like to make a donation in Adrian’s memory, we have chosen two charities, Prostate Cancer UK and the Southern Golden Retriever Rescue.

Golden Retrievers were a huge part of Adrian’s life over the years.


Adrian Chapman. May 24th 2026

It is with great sadness we have to share that Adrian has very recently died. Adrian was a very active and helpful volunteer with Southern Golden Retriever Rescue both helping dogs into new homes and then taking on important administration duties. 

Kathy and Adrian adopted through us too, - Bonnie suffered from epilepsy and had a great life alongside her Golden companions.
Such a loss to all connections

Our sympathies go to Kathy

We would like to thank Tyler for his amazing achievement of completing the Swindon half marathon. Tyler chose SGRR as the charity that he wanted to support, even though he has no direct connection with SGRR. His love of helping dogs has raised over £1,000 and we are very grateful to him. His Just Giving page is still open for any further donations and we would also like to thank everyone that has donated.
